# Youverse

> Youverse is a privacy-first SaaS platform for decentralized biometric authentication and identity verification. It provides developer-friendly APIs for face matching, passwordless authentication, identity verification, liveness detection, and age estimation — all designed with a zero-trust, privacy-by-design architecture where biometric data is never centralized.

## Company Overview

Youverse (formerly Yoonik) builds advanced biometric identity solutions that eliminate passwords and streamline KYC/AML compliance. The platform is NIST-validated for accuracy, ISO/ICAO compliant, and designed for regulated industries including banking, fintech, iGaming, hospitality, and mobility.

Core principles:
- Decentralized architecture — biometric data is never stored centrally
- Privacy-by-design — no storage of PII or biometric templates on servers
- Developer-first — integration in as few as 3 lines of code
- Industry-leading accuracy — NIST top-tier performer for face matching
- ISO/ICAO certified for highest security standards
